Victron Multiplus Compact Earth

I’m replacing my ac charger in my Campervan with a Victron Multiplus Compact inverter/charger.

I have added a new RCBO on the incoming shore power, and added suitable fuses and cable on the DC side. However, I’m getting confusing information about the Earth connection. I think the Multiplus case should be bonded to the negative busbar and that the cable size should be twice the size of the live but that would make it 50mm2 cable but the instructions say it has a connector (which I can’t find) for 6mm2

Can anyone clarify exactly what I need to add for the Earth?

I’ve tested the AC and that is grounded to the chassis.

For my multi compact I used the block diagram from the https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Manual-EasySolar-1600-EN-NL-FR-DE-ES-IT.pdf page 181.

Double pole MCB on the mains input, double pole RCD / RCBO on the mains output.

Check with your local electrician for local compliance.
